Currently, Atiya focuses on sustainability, where her personal values align closely with her professional goals, aiming to drive significant societal impact. At Principal Capital Public Company Limited, she has initiated sustainability efforts across environmental, social, and governance dimensions. She led the company in joining the "Care the Whale" waste management project with the Stock Exchange of Thailand, led the team to calculate the carbon footprint for organization of the 14 hospitals, and gradually integrated the carbon footprint into corporate KPIs.

Through this collaboration, Atiya aimed to empower employees by providing both financial resources and knowledge, fostering a more balanced life for them.
